93 ALDI Recyclability Guideline BELGIUM Eco-modulation of Green Dot fees With the eco-modulation of Green Dot fees, a higher Green Dot fee is usually paid for less recyclable packaging than for recyclable packaging. In 2021, a dissuasive Green Dot fee is given for packaging that hampers sorting and/or recycling. In the transitional phase (necessary for technical conversions) a temporary exemption for three packaging types is made. Companies must prove that necessary steps are taken to eliminate obstructive packaging from their range. These are: • Plastic bottles with at least 70% of which is covered by a sleeve (or 50% for bottles < 50 cl), if this consists of a different material than the bottle and is not perforated; • Laminated plastic packaging with aluminium film (beverages, fruit and vegetables, prepared dishes, pet food, maintenance products and body care); • Laminated cardboard packaging , such as crisps and dried milk tubes or boxes, that contain less than 85% paper fibre . For plastic cans with a metal bottom or top and oxo-degradable packaging the dissuasive rate applies immediately. The highest fee ( 2.8965 EUR/kg excl. VAT) has to be paid for those types of packaging. GREEN DOT RATES 2022 PER MATERIAL (EXTRACT) MATERIAL - RECYCLED RATE (EUR/kg) excl.
